Places r. T. International coming to you live from moscow on cape partridge thank you for joining us the u. N. General assembly meets this thursday to vote on a draft resolution rejecting washingtons recognition of jerusalem as israels capital the turkish president hopes the u. S. Will lose the votes and says donald trump cant buy ankaras democratic will reject murder and added he expects the resolution will serve as a lesson for america. Well the u. S. Is literally using its trump card against the move its u. N. Ambassador warns that the american president will be watching anyone who votes against the u. S. Position. When we make a decision about where to locate our embassy we dont expect those weve helped to target terrorists on thursday theyll be a vote criticizing our choice the u. S. Will be taking names. Result in favor of the draft resolution please raise your hand. Was. Those against. The war team foods in favor one vote against. As you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u. S. Take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested i report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration. Its the right thing to do it is absolutely the right thing to do. President trump is threatening to cut funding to any members who wont support americas position and then they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote against us while were watching those votes lead a vote against us will save a lot now weve heard these threats from donald trump and weve also heard threats from nikki haley now this comes just a few days after we saw some drama at the United Nations Security Council resolution was put forward by egypt condemning the recent move of the United States recognizing jerusalem as israels capital and in response to that we saw it fourteen to one with every other member of the u. N. Security Council Voting against the resolution but the usa stepping in to veto it this is some of what occurred at the u. N. Security council to start to give jerusalem as the future of two states should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and a decision and actions which purport to hold to the current term status of jerusalem have no legal effect to your any unilateral actions increase the risk of escalation because we support the just cause of restoring the noojee from a National Rights of the Palestinian People who good to go out into seclusion can become and get out of control now the upcoming vote at the United Nations General Assembly is along similar lines the resolution criticizes the recent move by the United States to recognize jerusalem as israels capital so as we see these threats from tromping these threats from nikki haley this talk of taking names this document claiming that donald trump will be taking it personally the way countries vote were forced to ask ourselves if u. S. Leaders are really acting diplomatically or if they are being reduced to rather threatening behavior in response to the upcoming vote in the General Assembly here at the headquarters in new york. Israels Prime Minister has lashed out against the vote branding the u. N. House of lies but a former un director of Communications Edward Mortimer told us the pressure tactics from the u. S. Could be counterproductive. I think this idea. That states uses its power and wealth and the dependence of some other countries on its assistance trying to get votes in the United Nations this is not something entirely new i think what is perhaps. New and interesting about this situation is that the United States starts for a situation of complete isolation as you saw there was a fourteen to one vote in the Security Council and even countries that are normally very closely allied with the with the United States such as the United Kingdom who spoke very strongly in favor of the resolution. Other countries are afraid of the United States probably more than they are. Of any other power its not very surprising that the United States is the country best placed to use these bullying tactics but i think that. The way that theyre used is not very subtle and may well backfire i think that american influence in the world has been declining now for twenty years or so and i think this kind of behavior is likely to accelerate that decline. There is a degree of safety in numbers i think that the more countries that ignore this bullying tactic the less easy it will be for the United States to act on its threats i think one probably should not take it too seriously. Ten times more iraqi civilians may have been killed than previously thought during the u. S. Led operation to Liberate Mosul from myself thats according to new research by the Associated Press and. As agency obtained data from iraqi moves this one is not a governmental organizations its as many as eleven families and citizens may have been killed during the nine months aeration many asserted these allegedly timesharing u. S. Led Coalition Bombing raids however just a fraction isnt knowledge by the coalition against the it has visited the city cheering and after the fighting. To see the presss body count surprise anyone who has actually been to mosul and who has seen what has happened to the city you can also argue that the death count that theyve given its become outdated already hours after they released their report we got a call from mosul from rescuers there saying that three more children had been killed with the explosive device buried in the wreckage of a house that they were playing all day today to ease explosions happen almost every day rescuers tell us and this is a direct consequence of the battle of mosul itself nevertheless the body count is a semi official milestone in the in and of itself because the numbers we previously heard from official sources from the u. S. Led coalition iraqis even the u. S. Was a tenth of that barely a thousand civilians realistic number the Associated Press found that three to four thousand of those civilians killed in mosul died to ash strikes carried out by the u. S. Led coalition and the Iraqi Air Force the u. S. Led coalition had previously claimed responsibility for a new movement three hundred or so civilian deaths saying that it didnt have the resources to send investigators to look at every reported incident susi the press didnt always numbers out of a hat they cited various human rights agencies as well as an official body count counts that monitored events in mosul as well as with tip offs for. Iraqi morgues but as i say this number is unsurprising if youve been to mosul if youve seen what a city of two million has been tending to injuries as strikes corpses crossfire this is the reality of war what you likely havent heard of is the smell its noisy aging repulsive and its everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink sick the smell of rotting bodies this is what rescuers have collected just this morning three suspected isis fighters two women and two children. Thats an iraqi. Launching missiles. At isis targets in and you can hear isis small arms fire that targeting the helicopter and. Over the six seven hundred meters away as the aftermath of. That hit minutes ago just before we got here this was a city of two million that had been. Annihilated during the nine months of the battle of mosul the rescuers we talked to tell us that the city the city the old city of mosul that bore the brunt of the fighting in the devastation its still reeks of decaying bodies thousands and thousands of corpses still buried under rubble mixed with them or explosive devices that continue to claim peoples lives. Human rights activists mohammed circle believes the coalitions tactics mean large numbers of civilian casualties were inevitable their weapons are being used by the coalition especially by the u. S. Army does not discriminate between civilians or terrorist by civilians or the isis if you look at the mosul as a city is very concerned very populated area is not an open open space where you can target easy terrorist groups so they were targeting houses they were targeting. Small rows that were taken small neighborhoods this again the question is raised again why theres not as a thing. Independents and instigation by the u. N. To look into how the operation has been handled Human Rights Group Amnesty International has joined calls to investigate the Liberation Campaign and reveal the true cost in civilian deaths it added the number cited in this report come as no surprise. A three year old russian girl has been reunited with her family after she was found abandoned in iraq its believed sophias parents took her to the middle east when they joined myself after the little girl was flown back to russia it turned out she was the cousin of a teacher and butler r. T. Helped bring these two sisters back home you know just r. T. Easier trigger asthma. So let me get it out there. They seem to to throw me over as it were to the menu by now and does it work.

Digenova team lost their father they witnessed the death of their mother put it cleaned. Up again mom was a good mom or was it just so. This was a mom i knew only a mom or dad of each kid but the girls were incredibly lucky to even be found sent back to southern russia and reunited with their grandparents thats what they call a miracle. But someone else was still missing. Some rare says to you. There was still and after more than three months unbelievably syfy a was spotted in an iraqi jail. Theyre grateful to this man senators. Who travel to iraq to handle the talks and paperwork. So sophia just arrived sacked in russia from iraq months after her cousins were already reunited with her grandparents so were going to try and see if we can talk to the person who made it possible and sophia herself liverpool misfit in front of my. Get us off that list. Nationally of the puzzles as he has this ability to admit im with her until ziad and his team received a photo because nothing. Whatsoever here is that astonishing about the mean is that it turned out so feel long with the woman who had picked her up after a deadly mosul airstrike ended up in a prison with Islamic State wives and widows the woman told of house of feel as mother had been buried under the mosul rubble arranging the girls release and handover was tough to say the least it took over a month the papers were signed on a very special day with him thats it that would you consider that the of us something yes it did on the t. That if she did this without all the thirty or so that the trio can be together again on home soil what fact team. Leader he suffian has hit the last of the. Sufi is too young too shy or perhaps too traumatized to talk for now the company is instead of putting. The team of michelle the plaintiff in. These nods were the only reaction from severe so far a tiny gesture but a big sign she feels the future will be bright and filled with love you have to train go r t. A man has driven in a car into a crowd of pedestrians in the australian city of melbourne eighteen people have been confirmed injured four of them critically a white s. U. V. Struck a number of pedestrians in an area patch with christmas shoppers before crashing into a concrete barrier to try and stop witnesses say between forty and sixty people were at the junction where the incident took place the vehicle travelling at around eighty kilometers an hour the driver was arrested by an off Duty Police Officer who also sustained injuries. The suspect has been identified as a thirty two year old Australian Citizen of afghan descent he is known to the authorities and said to have a history of drug use and Mental Health issues police say sobers to suggest the incident is terror related however to suggest the incident is terror related however the investigation is still ongoing he is still in custody under arrest for these offenses for what we allege is i deliberately act at this time we dont have any evidence for intelligence to indicate a connection with terrorism having said that however we continue to support this investigation without counterterrorism command to ensure that there isnt that connection and there is no one going through it well this isnt the first car running incident in melbourne this year in january a twenty six year old man drove a vehicle into pedestrians killing six people and injuring more than thirty that act was also deliberate according to authorities and the man was known for Mental Health and drug issues counterterrorism expert Chris Phillips things such incidents have grave consequences regardless of intention. Weve always had vehicles running people over that they lose control access that deliberately happens every day in every city across the world but of course we just dont know what these. Nowadays we immediately think that it is going to be a terrorist and of course there are there is of course the world along with Mental Health issues very few of those terms of violent but some do and we saw in west person that Mental Health issues doing exactly the same thing but on that occasion it was pretty obvious and clearly a terrorist attack so its very difficult and really the result is just the same just such a tragedy wherever it happens and for whatever reason. Chicagos crime levels are branded a quiet genocide more details on that after the break. You know the palestinians have used the United Nations as a weapon of war against the future of peace both for palestinians and israelis the United Nations General Assembly has passed more resolutions against the Democratic State of israel that it has against north korea iran and syria combined so that you know it is a bubbling cauldron of hatred and antidemocracy. Welcome back the pentagon has admitted its conducting full scale military operations in yemen the revelations came in a statement by u. S. Central command. U. S. Forces have conducted multiple ground operations in more than one hundred twenty strikes in twenty seventeen to remove key leaders and disrupt the ability of al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and ices in yemen to use ungoverned spaces in yemen as a hub for terrorist recruiting training and base of operations to export terror worldwide well for more on this im now joined by r. T. C. Daniel hawkins hi there dan so can you give us a broader picture about whats happening in yemen of course well its a firstly tripling of airstrikes since twenty sixteen since last year an official confirmation for the first time of boots on the ground something many politicians have been keen to avoid mentioning to avoid bad publicity with the yemeni conflict raging for nearly three years and spawning two separate u. S. Administrations american policy has somewhat evolved since the first days of the war what we need to do is bring all the parties together and find a political arrangement it is not solved by having another proxy war fought inside of yemen now aside from the massive arms sales to saudi arabia what began as Logistical Support and intelligence sharing as part of the Saudi Led Coalition moved to supporting combat operations in an advise and assist role drone and plane strikes and now multiple ground operations there the military involvement may have good intent on the surface combats in the spread of jihad is the group stabilizing the watauga country but as involvement has escalated the presence of terrorist groups has actually expanded. Now aside from the irony of course of targeting militants allegedly lied to the saudi backed militias themselves theres the question of a vicious cycle as well as strikes and other military involvement in the region has led to terrorist groups capitalizing on precisely those sentiments among the population which lead to. And support for jihad ism remember the examples of libya and syria this actually comes from none other than members of the us congress the civil war inside yemen has aided the enemies for which we actually have declared war against al qaeda is getting stronger inside yemen because as more and more of the country becomes becomes ungovernable because of this war al qaeda is moving into that territory isis against which we have not declared war but we are engaged in active military activity in the region against is getting stronger inside yemen to these problems dont even touch upon the catastrophic humanitarian situation described by n. G. O. S as now the worst in the world with civilian casualties famine and color of spreading in the country artist Daniel Hawkins thank you very much thank you. Now its already one of the most dangerous cities in the us and crime rates in chicago are now rising at a worrying level well this sparks a National Trend which is seen figures dropping according to a new crime rate report one local Government Commission has branded the situation a quiet genocide and says u. N. Intervention is needed. Im hoping to appeal to the u. N. To actually come to chicago and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts well the commission is appeal was perceived by many as a direct invitation to the un to deploy troops to the city however Chicagos Police superintendent did point out the International Body has no jurisdiction there Violent Crimes are among those on the rise including murder rape and aggravated assault. You are welcome. As you pursue the american dream. Of being killed in chicago and in good schools combine this has been going on for quite some time and the people work even quieter Community Members themselves so the same ones who are in the most in need of help but they are scared to get help or scared to ask for help. From one of the biggest street gangs selling drugs are. So bad for my child at the time. How easy is it going to go. To. Leach appreciate the culture of accountability of picking up a gun and using it. I never meant i dont think i let me get thirty per cent. Chose not to shoot this guy because she didnt want her family to go to the scrutiny the next day on national news. I. Keep on the news when people become numbers these are lives and these are human lives and unfortunately leadership has failed. Now at less than six months to go until the football world cup here in russia has spoken exclusively with brazil superstar pele the full interview goes on at this friday but heres a quick preview. I saw my father he was with another players in my house too to listen in the game that they didnt have t. V. Then i saw my father with his friends. Didnt understand us. Because the only way they say to me ok main done to grimy and on. So you promised. That was a very bold statement for a nine year olds mike father going on when the world cup are for you dont cry dont cry. For my father brazil world champions and its your first World Championship i want to know if my father my mother the parents of the members of they knew about it but they wouldnt have to wouldnt they have communicated straight from the state. The. We have the waltz we got. Somebody to make the connection but the connection sometime. Were. Going to be seventy will cook the greatest player in the world just probably feel. Does he feel nervous. I can tell you. Who. Will my life to give it to me i cannot say goodbye as i lost the last two men. On the back more news at the top. On the welcome to all departed these really leadership wasted no time in painting Donald Trumps movement as a historic landmark following of course within its own interpretation of history eleven appraise intensified even more after the United States have to invoke a veto against its own allies the Security Council what does israel hope to gain from base isolating show of support to discuss that im now joined by dan dyker fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs mr dyker its great to have you on the show thank you very much. For a time thank you now let me know if you disagree and i bet you disagree about but i think the israeli authorities and first and foremost Prime Minister netanyahu averill apparent in the efforts to all over south what donald trump really sad on the status of jerusalem netanyahu called that decision courageous and just at a time when the state department actually tried very hard to persuade everybody that there was absolutely nothing extraordinary in it why is israel are trying to package this announcement for what its not well israel is trying to basically affirm what the American People have said for twenty two years and its unfortunate that so many people around the world. Russia by the way not included have gone against the will the American People as a matter of fact russia recognize the jerusalem already for a long time and certainly the western side of the city and the American People have said jerusalem is israels capital of the israeli people have known that everybody in this part of the world though everyone knows that jerusalem is israels capital not everyone publicly agrees with it but Everybody Knows another fact that if you want to have stability in the middle east you want to have security in the middle east recognize jerusalem and let the Israeli Security forces keep drus them safe for people of all religions but then mr decker i think there is a lot of space for you and us here because the state department had to issue several clarification stating that washington indeed wasnt trying to influence the talks on the status and the separation of jerusalem in any way but i think these railings are thirty days maybe very deliberately make it appear as if donald trump was speaking about jerusalem as a whole well accent a look its very important to understand that the state department was saying something true in this particular case donald trump President Trump said that the status quo remember that word status quo thats a code word for. Keeping things as they are what the United States did was to correct an injustice and our and a and a a position that had been incorrect and biased against israel very much unfortunately at the behest of a israels a friends in europe which held they took they prejudged the outcome the negotiations by trying to recognize or suggest that the palestinians should have a capital on the eastern side of the city thats a prejudgment of negotiations the state department saying no the negotiations have to come directly between the sides all the United States did was to fulfill the will of the American People and prime and president s before donald trump that for you know small for political reasons decided to last minute to mobilize that six month waiver state Department Said no negotiations is what will determine the ultimate the ultimate status of israels of the of the holy city ill miss him mr jack as you can imagine i mean russia dont trade the worth of damage
